Chapter 237: The Bloody Battle of Baku (6)

Flitz hurriedly reported the encounter with the new Soviet anti-tank guns to the General Command, and the General Command ordered Flitz to collect the wreckage of these anti-tank guns and send them to the General Headquarters, of course, Zhang Jun wanted to analyze the true power of these Soviet anti-tank guns, so as to see the damage of these anti-tank guns to the Shanzhai Type 99 tank, so as to determine new tactics.

Zhang Jun originally thought that his copycat Type 99 tank could maintain an absolute advantage for at least two years, from the appearance of the copycat Type 99 tank in 39, it has only been a short period of more than a year now, and the Soviet Union has an anti-tank gun that can penetrate the crotch of the copycat 99 tank, which really surprised Zhang Jun.

In fact, Zhang Jun is too taken for granted, in the final analysis, the competition between people, natural selection, and the survival of the fittest is not unreasonable, a new thing appears, it is definitely not single, and the corresponding things will also appear, for example, when humans invent cold weapons, the corresponding defensive things will be immediately developed, shields, armor, etc. are the best interpretation.

The Germans developed a powerful and defensive copycat Type 99 main battle tank, Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union, it is impossible to watch their troops can only be beaten, and there is no power to fight back, this situation will only appear in a very short period of time, for the research and development of anti-tank guns, artillery technology has been quite mature World War II, Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union to develop several high-power anti-tank artillery is really not a difficult matter.

In fact, this is also the case, Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union are all stepping up research and development of new weapons, Britain and France have advantages in research and development in the navy, the Soviet Union has its own unique advantages in tanks and artillery, and the United States has advantages in aircraft, tanks, and navy, and of course the United States is the strongest in terms of comprehensive national strength. The Soviet Union is second, Britain and France are the worst, the Soviet Union and the United States have several classic weapons that have been retained in World War II, and a large number of hunting equipment to the world, and none of the weapons developed by Britain and France can be called classics, of course, they have not been retained, and they have been completely eliminated by history.

Frieze, who considered himself unlucky, ordered the maintenance vehicles to tow away the lost cottage 99 tanks, and after a short rest, they set off to crush the third line of defense of the Soviet army a few kilometers away.

Zhukov's defensive line layout, on the surface, is very orthodox, but in fact there is a difference, Zhukov's defensive line is completely composed of small ring fortifications, even if the German SS breaks through the Soviet army's defensive line, this front has not yet attacked and broken through the ring fortifications can still be held, so Zhukov's order is to hold on to every inch of land, any retreat without an order will be treated as a deserter.

Flitz did not know what the third line of defense of the Soviet army was, and when Flitz began to start from the attack position, he asked for air force support to bomb the third line of defense of the Soviet army, and he had to destroy everything suspected of being attacked by Soviet anti-tank guns.

The third line of fortifications of the Soviet army is much more complete than the first two, all of them are composed of countless ring fortifications, one by one, layer upon layer, the entire defense line is composed of three layers of ring fortifications stacked together, the Soviet army has 2.8 million troops in the entire Baku, and it is completely capable of this force to arrange such a defense line, as for their weapon configuration, Flitz does not know it yet.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

Flitz's request was quickly answered, more than a hundred aircraft of various types flew over the armored assault group in Flitz, and now the air superiority of the German SS was not yet something that the Soviet Air Force could break, the strength of the USSR was tanks and artillery.

As for how the Air Force fights, it is not Flitz's turn to speak, and Flitz's hand will not be stretched out so long, anyway, Flitz is emphasizing, asking the brothers of the Air Force to look carefully in the air, as long as it is found to be a bit like a cannon, or a fortification that can hide the cannon, all of them will be blown up. The Luftwaffe had the strength to meet Frieze's requirements.

In the entire Baku area, Zhang Jun mobilized most of the planes of the two air armies of Army Group South to participate in the battle, and the total number of planes was about 2,000, while the number of planes defending Stalingrad was only about 700, and the 2,700 planes of Army Group South were allocated, and 70 percent of the planes participating in the Battle of Baku were arranged.

"Buzz...... Buzzing...... Woowoo...... Boom ......"

Soon Flitz who was sitting in the tank felt a violent tremble, the minimum number of bombs carried by these planes was 250 kilograms, because all the Soviet airfields in the Baku area were all blown up by Germany, so even the "Sixth Master" began to carry aerial bombs to attack, the "Sixth Master" can carry two 500-kilogram aerial bombs, of course, the bombing accuracy of the "Sixth Master" is not high, the "Sixth Master" only needs to drop this 500-kilogram aerial bomb within 150 meters of the target, and people will definitely be shocked to death. If you want to destroy some of the weapons inside the cannon, you need to throw them within 50 meters. It is not that the "Sixth Master" bomb cannot be dropped accurately to 50 meters, but Hartmann requires that all jet planes cannot carry out low-altitude bomb dropping, and the low-flying "Sixth Master" will also be shot down by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, and the "Sixth Master" of the German SS is still hunting when the Wehrmacht does not trust the "Sixth Master", and now the Wehrmacht's group of grandsons basically completely dominates the share of the "Sixth Master" in Germany.

If the SS wants to hunt the "six masters" and cottage 99 type, it can only be the output of Poland, the output of this Poland is really not much, after all, where is the industrial base, Poland's "six masters" aircraft production can reach an annual output of 300 aircraft is considered to be the top of the sky, in the early stage of the war, Germany's "six masters" have technical advantages, the SS can also expand its own air force, and when Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union also have jet fighters, the annual output of these 300 "six masters" is afraid that it will not be able to meet the SS war losses, How could this not make Hartmann cherish the "sixth master" of the SS so much.

German planes roared on the third line of defense of the Soviet army, a large number of heavy aerial bombs smashed down on the Soviet army's hidden artillery or fortifications, violent, powerful explosions can be felt several kilometers away, and the Soviet army's air defense weapons of various calibers also did not stop firing fiercely at the German planes in the air, no battle damage is impossible, the German planes that were hit, as long as they could barely fly, they had to fly the planes as far as possible to the side of the German attack, even if they crashed in the end, These pilots also did not become prisoners of the Soviets, the plane was important, and good pilots were no less important.

"Woooooooooo......oo Buzzing...... Da Da ...... Boom"

The anti-aircraft fire and artillery of the Soviet army are always the most priority targets of the German aircraft, and the attack of the aircraft on the stationary targets on the ground has a great advantage, and the Soviet army has definitely suffered heavy losses in supporting the air attack, of course, the German aircraft also paid the price, five planes were shot down, and more than a dozen planes were damaged.

This is only the first wave of air raids, at this time the German armored assault group is still a few kilometers away, the second wave of German aircraft attack aircraft began to fly over the head of Fritz, the first wave of air attack aircraft should also return, in the case that the enemy has anti-aircraft weapons that have not been destroyed, the SS air force is forbidden to their own planes to strafe at ultra-low altitudes, after dropping bombs, they will leave, and after the Soviet air defense weapons are destroyed to the point that there is little power to fight back, the SS planes can strafe at ultra-low altitudes, and now it is better to continue to drop heavy aerial bombs.

"The air force of the dog day is really good enough, righteous enough, after this battle, Lao Tzu invites you to drink, hehe."

At this time, Flitz had already drilled out of the copycat Type 99 tank, leaned his body against the window at the top, and after scolding the Air Force, Flitz picked up the microphone again and began to call the artillerymen.

At this time, the German attacking infantry should have completely occupied the first line of defense of the Soviet army, and was constantly expanding the breach, the safe width of this breach would not be less than 50 kilometers, and even if the Soviet troops erected artillery on the edge of the breach, it was impossible to threaten the transport line inside the breach.

The armored group that assaults in depth depends on supplies very much, and the materials consumed by the armored assault group are also very huge, the assault of an armored division needs at least a thousand trucks to transport their supplies, if the supply of these armored divisions that break into the depth of the enemy is cut off, those tanks can only be turtles lying on their stomachs, and a few 155 cannons can solve them, it doesn't matter if they can't be destroyed, it can shock the tank crew to death. The three major performance indicators of the tank have been clearly stated, 1 is firepower, 2 is mobility, 3 is defense, and the result of a tank without fuel can only be turned into scrap metal.

The German SS troops who occupied the first line of defense sent troops to expand the breakthrough point, and at the same time used all kinds of mechanical vehicles to build a simple field road, in fact, it was to build an earthen road, with a bulldozer to push, a road roller, it was enough, of course, on a rainy day, this kind of dirt road is also very muddy, and the SS artillery units will also move forward as soon as possible to the first or second line of defense that has been occupied, build artillery positions, erect artillery, and be ready to support the armored assault group on the front line at any time.

"I'm Fritz of Armored Assault Group A, call Group A artillerymen, hear it please answer."

"A artillery group received, please tell me what support you need."

"Thank you, our assault group is now six kilometers away from the third line of defense of the Soviet army, please shell the Soviet positions directly in front of our armored attack group, including the area within three kilometers of the front of the Soviet positions."

"As you wish, Captain Frieze."

Flitz wanted to ask the artillery to shoot at the frontal Soviet troops of his attack, and the area of the shooting was the frontal Soviet positions and the defensive positions of the Soviet troops...... (To be continued.) )
